Small Membership Church Workshop

Workshop: A Clearer Look at Your Church

Monday, October 5, 2020 – Rev. Ellie Johns-Kelley, Ministry Relations Officer of the Presbyterian Foundation, led participants from small churches (worship attendance around 50 or under) in a financial assessment, a roundtable discussion of best practices, and a Q & A session geared toward small churches facing financial challenges.

 

Forum: On Reinvention

Thursday, December 3, 2020 – Paul Grier, VP for Institutional Services will be joining us to bring his expertise. Our discussion will include re-invention vignettes: case studies of real PC(USA)congregations who have made sometimes-bold changes to strengthen their ministries. We’ll hear an overview of the work they undertook and explore the factors that led to success or disappointment. In addition, we’ll discuss facilities problems that are common to our congregations and review a few solutions that others have tried with good results.

Lehigh Presbytery is called by God to nurture its congregations as they grow in every way into communities whose head is Jesus Christ, so that they will go out to make disciples, baptizing and teaching in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and to witness, through their actions, to the love of God. cf. Ephesians 4:15 and Matthew 28:18-21
